in Weddings & anniversaries
So we have battered out all the cd's we own, trawled endless sites looking for songs that fit with us and how we are and i think we have now finally chosen our 5 songs, would love some feed back to see what others think before we go off to the registry office and have them confirmed.

Guest assembly song - Wonderwall, Oasis

Entrance of Bride/Groom - Beautiful day, U2

Signing of register - Frog Chorus, Paul McCartney

Departing from service - With or without you, U2

First dance - Truly Madly Deeply, Savage Garden

    They sound brilliant - (I hope none of them mention the word angel because you won't be allowed to have them).

    is that for real Horace? you're not allowed songs with the word angel in as part of the ceremony??!! We haven't started thinking of music much yet but I thought it meant you just weren't allowed to use hymns?

    Are you having pictures when you sign the register?

    If so, I'd have a couple of other songs as back up as these things always take longer than you think and it means that your guests can be sitting there for some time after the music has finished.

    I would not say Wiht or Without You is a good choice for leaving the ceremony... Just look up the lyrics and you'll see.

    Think it's because Angel would be classed as a religious reference which is a big no no for a registrars or any non church wedding. That is primarily why the registrars need to check the song's, similarly songs with heaven or halellullah wouldn't be allowed.
    Booo!!!
